Buckerfield: The Story of a Vancouver Family by Mary Buckerfield White and Philip Sherwood is a deeply personal and historically significant portrait of one of British Columbia’s most recognizable names in agriculture and community life. This 321-page hardcover, published in 2011, chronicles the rise of Buckerfield’s Feeds, Seeds, and Fertilizers—a household name across the province for much of the 20th century.
Through family stories, archival photographs, and vivid recollections, the book explores:
- The entrepreneurial journey of Ernest Buckerfield, who built a business empire from the ground up
- The cultural contributions of Amy Buckerfield, a key figure in Vancouver’s arts scene and longtime president of the Vancouver Symphony Society
- The family’s legacy in shaping British Columbia’s agricultural and civic landscape
- A broader reflection on immigrant ambition, civic engagement, and regional identity
Perfect for readers of local history, business biography, and Canadian heritage, Buckerfield is both a tribute and a time capsule—preserving the story of a family whose name became synonymous with growth, grit, and giving back.
